In his prints, Teraoka embraces the workshop-oriented approach to Japanese woodblock printmaking, much like Hashiguchi Goyō (1880–1921), a traditionalist whose prints are displayed elsewhere in this gallery. For the production of Sarah and Octopus / Seventh Heaven (2001), Teraoka employed a print workshop in Tokyo under the supervision of Takamizawa Tadakatsu. The nearby video shows the twenty-nine stages in which the team of woodblock carvers, printers, and assistants at the Takamizawa mokuhansha (print shop) painstakingly developed the image, one color at a time, beginning with a keyblock print in black ink.
